When it comes to the EQS SUV\u2019s tech, far and away the star of the tech show is the Hyperscreen. On the left is the 12.3-inch gauge cluster, completely reconfigurable with a whopping six visual styles on offer. That\u2019s managed via two rows of touch-sensitive thumb controls on the steering wheel. They\u2019re surprisingly easy to use without looking down.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the dash is a 17.7-inch infotainment screen, through which Mercedes-Benz\u2019s comprehensive MBUX infotainment screen is accessed. MBUX can be a little overwhelming when you dig into the menus, but it does a great job of presenting what you need when you need it. It\u2019s also reasonably responsive and, with both wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on tap, you can easily bring your own media to the party.<\/p>\n

On the far right is another display, 12.3 inches here, for the passenger. Through that they can pair their own phone should they want to serve up their own media, change the climate settings in the car and even set navigation.<\/p>\n

It all feels a bit redundant given they can do all that and more on the main display. Stunning as Hyperscreen is, I\u2019d stick with the standard 12.8-inch display myself. But, if you find yourself swatting at the hands of your passenger frequently as you try to change this or that, perhaps Hyperscreen is a good investment.<\/p>\n

On the safety front, the EQS SUV has a wealth of driver assistance systems standard, including comprehensive adaptive cruise plus automatic lane-changing (indicate the change with the turn signal and the car takes care of the rest) and about the best active headlights in the business. Benz\u2019s Digital Light Intelligent Lighting System not only has auto high-beams but can paint warnings on the road if you\u2019re wandering out of the lane. It also puts on the aforementioned light show when you\u2019re approaching the car at night.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even a fingerprint sensor in the center console you can use to lock your profile settings, perfect for keeping your significant other from messing with your perfect seat configuration.<\/p>\n
